Salt lamps are big salt rocks that have a hole drilled inside where a small light bulb or candle is placed. The light glows through the rock and causes moisture in the air to bind with the salt surface and release negative ions.
After replacing the large desktop computer in my room with a small laptop, I added a Himalayan salt lamp.
After a day of sleeping in my room, I felt a subtle sense of calmness and less stress. The real results came when on the second day I started getting morning erections from that day on, more often and with more strength.
Over time that electronic-icky feeling of being around computers all day has completely gone away.

Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Body
What does it mean to be stuck in your head?
It basically means you are thinking or analyzing far more than you are experiencing. It's when you add analysis on top of every experience, which creates distance between you and the pleasure of that experience.
Over thinking things can result in pre-mature ejaculation, loss of erection or simply not having pleasure.
In the first episode of the show nip/tuck, there is the perfect example of this when the main character, Shawn, is having sex with his wife. She is laying there bored out of her mind while he is thrusting in and out. All the while the viewer hears his thoughts of "I'm gonna fire the gardener, the hedges in the front are lopsided, looks like he trimmed them drunk." Then his wife asks him, "Are you finished honey?" He finishes up then meekly says "yes" and she pats him on the back and they both turn over and he goes to sleep.It's also when you are doing one thing (like having sex) but thinking about another (like problems at work).
Guys who are masters in the bedroom are skilled in being able to shut off their minds when its time to get the job done, so to speak.

"People generally either engage in mental activity and are oblivious to their bodies, or they engage in physical activity but their minds are wandering and not aware of what the body is doing. In this way the body and mind, which are essentially one inseparable system, are split.

How can we get out of our head?
The mind will not stop any time soon. It will have thought after thought after though with no end in sight. A healthy way to deal with it is to simply observe it and then ignore it.
You are not your thoughts or your mind. Your mind will still continue with the fears, doubts, and criticisms but they will not have as great of a pull on you when you ignore them and keep on doing what you are doing.
In addition to ignoring your thoughts, become fully present by focusing on the moment.
Try the conscious exercise we did earlier with your nose but this time do it while you are physical with a women. Kiss her but ignore your thoughts and feel your lips pressed against hers. Focus on the pleasure you received from touching her, kissing her and having sex with her.
Meditation Exercise
To really improve your presence, begin meditating once a day. Meditation isn't hard; you just sit in a quiet place, close your eyes and focus on your breathing.
The goal is to clear your mind of all thoughts and your consciousness will feel like its expanding. You will also feel a deep sense of relaxation and with more practice, sudden bursts of bliss.
Meditation isn't some magical thing, it's actually very practical. Ask any professional athlete this question: "How important is self talk and being in the moment while you're playing?" He will probably tell you that becoming good at self talk and being present is what makes the difference between the amateurs and the professionals.
It's that crucial.
Well that's all meditation is! Talking to yourself and being present.
Scientific research is coming out that proves meditation actually allows cells to function more efficiently. If you are interested in listening to an amazing lecture on this topic, check out Bruce Lipton's Videos (Disc 1, .Disc 2) on Google. He is a cellular biologist who became "spiritual" because of his breakthrough research and realizations.
One of the profound things he mentioned from his findings is the fact that cells can only be in one of two modes: Growth or Protection. When a cell is in protection, it is not growing. When it is in growth, it is working to heal and grow itself.
When we are stressed, worried, or otherwise stuck in our head, we are sending all our cells into protection mode which literally stops them from growing! Meditation (thoughtlessness) allows your cells to go back into growth mode, which allows them to become more efficient at healing and growing your body.
Here is an easy way to clear our mind and meditate:
1) Sit in a comfortable position or chair with your spine straight
2) Place your hands on your thighs resting with your palms up
3) Touch your tongue to the roof of your mouth and hold it there
4) Inhale deeply and silently repeat the mantra "Sat"
5) Exhale with the mantra "Nam"
So when you are breathing it will go like this (very slowly): "ssssssaaaaaaaaaaattttttt.nnnnnaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmm"
Seriously, try it right now for 30 seconds.
Go ahead, review the 5 steps above, stop reading and give it a try.
Not bad huh.
To really master this area, I highly recommend the meditations from the Girlfriend Training .Program or the Inner Game Chakras Program. After doing these meditations enough, your consciousness will reach a whole new level. The more you meditate, the more you train your mind to let go of thoughts and embrace the present moment. Even if you just play the meditations at night without doing anything, it will still help raise your consciousness.
